In a galaxy teetering on the brink of war, Thia Shujaa is a woman with a past she can’t outrun. Once a member of the deadliest assassins in the galaxy, her former clan now lies scattered across the stars, hunted and fragmented. Thia herself lives in the shadows, a master of stealth and precision. But when an old enemy asks for help, she must commune with demons that won’t leave her alone.
Aboard her battle-worn ship, the Osprey, Thia is joined by ABLE, an AI robot with an innovative mind, and Clurp, an alien engineer whose unconventional genius keeps the Osprey flying against all odds. Together, they confront a perilous mission to recover critical information stolen in a substantial data breach—information that, in the wrong hands, could tip the balance of power in the galaxy.
With ruthless adversaries closing in and the clock ticking, Thia must confront old foes and an old romance, and dodge the countless knives aimed at her back. The fate of countless worlds hangs in the balance, and only by embracing her lethal skills can she hope to save it.
Wayward is a gripping, edge-of-your-seat thriller, where redemption is hard fought and vengeance comes at a steep price.
